Episode 106 Title: "Life and Revenge! Ishida, the Ultimate Choice" | "Inochi to fukushū! Ishida, kyūkyoku no sentaku"
The episode starts off as Jin Kariya remembers the events that led up to the purging of the bount many years ago. He remembers their escape from the cave and the attacks by the hollow. Kariya's transformation is shown as he was about to be killed by a hollow. Kariya then remarks on how he was eventually deserted by his fellow bount. After a horrible loss to the shinigami after attempting to utilize the Quincy to reenter Soul Society, Kariya explains how he rounded up the remaining bount in order to attack Soul Society. Just as Kariya is about to kill Rantao, Ishida steps in and attacks Kariya, showing his mastery of his battle artifact. Ishida then explains Yoshino's warning that pointless fighting would only destroy the bount. As Ishida's battle accessory weakens, Rantao steps in and uses Jōkaishō's power to render Kariya incapable of fighting. Though Rantao urges Ishida to shoot him, Ishida intentionally doesn't attack Kariya with his full power, afraid of hurting Rantao. Suddenly, Rantao's reiatsu goes out of control as a result of using the Bount power. Ishida uses a technique which he used in episode 14, which released excess reiatsu from Ichigo. However, this fully erodes the Quincy battle accessory and Ishida is left defenseless. As Kariya is about to kill Ishida and Rantao, Ichigo steps in and the episode ends.
